If it's February, we're back (3)

Val made 25-patch blocks to use up her scraps, and chose a high contrast whitd-on-white stripe to set off the scrappy sashing beautifully. And still there are scraps ...

Ros gathered an elegant collection of low-contrast fabrics to make a calm quilt - it has worked very well. Quilted by Jo (Quiltwise)

Jill made a 'Social Tote' in a Quiltsmith summer school class taught by Lorena Uriarte. The pattern (by Carolyn Friedlander) is renowned for its complexity ... quite challenging for someone who has never made a bag at all!

Elaine W found the blue spot fabric in a remnant basket and thought Jill could 'do something' with it - she probably didn't expect it to take two years. Double disappearing nine patchwith a slight variation.
